Would one of you please

tell me who the hell Ginny is

And what happened back there?

Uh, I need a shake.

Diet's off. Let's go.

(DUCKS QUACKING)

Huh, okay, so you know how

sometimes like serious sh*t

Goes down in these

little Podunk towns

And nobody ever wants

to talk about it again?

Yeah. Kind of like my

mom is with my dad.

Exactly.

Okay, so last year before

you moved here,

The principal's daughter, Ginny,

was killed Halloween night.

She was murdered?

No. She died in an accident.

It was alcohol related,

wasn't it?

That's why you

didn't want to tell me.

I mean, when we met

back in august,

You were still so upset

over your dad.

It just never felt right.

So why did Tina get

so upset earlier?

I mean, were they friends?

We were all her friends,

And I guess it's still just

hard for us to think about.

I mean, Ginny was one of the

sweetest, softest,

Most genuine people

you'd ever meet.

I don't think there was

a single person at school

Who didn't just adore her.

Hell, even Tina liked her.

She was on the cheerleading

squad, wasn't she?

That, that's why graves

looked at us so weird earlier.

I mean, Ginny was captain

of the JV squad

Since we were freshmen, and

the apple of her daddy's eye.

Yeah!

That man used to be

one easy-Going chap,

But he's been grim as

all get out ever since.

Yeah. It kind of

reminds me of my mom.

I mean, he seemed to be holding

it together pretty well today.

Yeah. Well, someone had to.

Our buddy, Ben,

Damn near fell apart right

before our very eyes.

Who's Ben?

Ben Youngblood. You know,

as in rick Youngblood,

The honky tonky farmer

dating your hot mom?

Wait.

I didn't know rick had

another son other than mark.

Well, mark was actually

a year younger than Ben was.

Ben was in our class.

Was? What happened to him?

After Ginny died,

Ben's wagon snapped

right off it's hitch.

What he means is that

Ben went to rehab

And not the kind

where celebs go.

Janitor Fred found a bunch

of downer meds in his locker.

Supposedly, it was

what was left of his mom's

Prescription pills that she od'd

on when she committed suicide

A few years back.

Diarrhea mouth.

God.

No wonder Rick's been

so sympathetic to my mom,

But I can't believe he never

mentioned he had another son.

He just didn't want to put

that on her after everything

Y'all went through with your

dad anymore than we did you.

Or maybe he told her, and

she just didn't tell you.

Parents have a

way of hiding sh*t.

I'm just saying. Okay?

So, where's Ben now?

He never responded to the rehab.

He just sits in this dark quiet

room painting portraits

Of old Ginny graves.

So he just left him there

in the nut house?
